I have never received and comprehend this much information in a 15 minute period in my life. Your ability to explain things in a comprehensive way is amazing! Thank you so much!!!

Not a big commenter on videos, but, darn, these are so helpful and your are so pleasant and through in your presentation! Well done, and thank you!

I can't believe, after watching a few of your videos, that the orchid I had, lived as long as it did. I didn't do anything right!

You inspired me to convert my only orchid into semi-hydro. 🌱

You treat these like they are people patients! So much love is in every little thing you say. Thank you Michael!

I've been growing and watching YT videos on orchids for a little over a year and I'm impressed by your knowledge! You sure make it easy to understand! Thank you!

Michael's Orchids What are the hydroponics?

@smerk429

@@shelleycarhill5225 the Semi hydroponic part is that theres NO SOIL. Its HYDRO CLAY PELLETS. They hold moisture within small holes n cracks n crevices which feeds the plant vs conventional SOIL or DIRT. The HYDRO clay makes it SEMI Hydroponic.

Oh I'm so happy to have found you! Thank you, Michael!

Michael, I am so glad to have found your channel today and have learned so much! I am excited to try this with my next orchids.

Wow, I’ve learned so much. Thank you so much for all these instructions. Wish me well!

Thank you so much for this video you have given me the confidence and knowledge that I need to start to transition my orchids over.

Michael, thank you for this very well done video. I am just starting out with Semi Hydro.

Great video on caring for Kristen's orchid. I'd love to see how it did . Thank you for all the great info!

So glad I ran across your tutorials! My orchids just finished blooming so I know it is time to repot. Thank you!

Thank you Michael! You're a stellar teacher.

Absolutely wonderful! Well done and thank you so much for the excellent information!

Truly excellent! So concise and easy to understands! Thanks so much!!!

I agree with Jennifer. This is absolutely the best video on orchids, and I have watched many!! It clarifies so many things about orchids. Thank you so much!

This was fantastic ! I just enjoyed even tho I have never ever owned an orchid ! I certainly learned A LOT ! Definitely passing link onto friends & family who MIGHT want to grow an orchid !

New to your channel. I have been growing my Orchids wrong all these years. Thank you for all the information to grow a healthier orchids.

Kudos to you for doing this. You are a fantastic teacher!

Oh my gosh thank you! You were so clear and showed the method and reasoning behind everything. I feel so confident now that I can do this

It's great watching and listening to someone who has passion for something. Michael's Orchiids is full of useful insights into the care of Orchids. I wish I had found this earlier. Well done that man!

3 mins into the video, I had already decided you are my orchid go to! Very good job Micheal. Incredibly informative.

wow, its great how passionate you are. You are a great teacher. really learning from you.

I just found your channel today, and I love it, your are clear and concise in your videos and I absolutely love your personality. New subscriber and I am looking forward to viewing all your videos!!

Glad I found this channel. I live in Florida and have a "Florida room"--the walls are 90% windows that I keep open, so the room stays warm and super humid with bright, indirect light. Orchid heaven! Will be browsing this channel to hopefully find tips on growing orchids with exposed roots and no medium. Orchid flowers are of course the goal, but I love the look of draping roots, too!

I had almost lost all hope for my orchid! ALMOST! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. So informative and thorough. Wish me luck on my orchid's rehab!

I'm dealing with some of these very things right now. I have part of the problem solved, but what a wealth of information! You've made a subscriber out of me. Thank you for your thorough information!

This a great info! I don't feel as daunted as a newbie! Thanks so much!!

Great video, I have learned so much, I have converted two of my orchids, I hope I can save them, thank you

love this! While I somehow lucked into getting my little store-bought phaleonopsis to re-bloom, I'm hoping to make it into a thriving, luscious plant - thanks to you. I'll keep watching your informative, interesting, and kind videos - you are wonderful. Thanks again!

Learning oh so much! And I love your style. Thank you Michael!!!

Man! You are very informative and your methods of sterilization are cool and entertaining to watch. The look of having semi-hydroponics as your medium is stylish. Great video.

I just found your channel and having watched hundreds of videos, this is the best I have seen! So glad I found you! Will be looking forward to catching more clips and learning from you. Thanks so much for your clear explanations and sharing your extensive knowledge with us. Cheers!

Damn, your tutorials are so on point. This is so helpful and gives you a perfect explanation. Thank you.

Michael, very informative. Thank you very much for the overview and details and links to explore what you use. As Jennifer said, your 'why/explanations' are awesome.

Such a great informative and straightforward video! Thanks for the detailed tutorial and for the explanations. I’ve always wondered about those old spagnum moss plugs....

I went on the comments just to see if anyone is so amazed with all the info he provided. Verrrrrrry helpful and I’ve learned something I didn’t learn from other videos.

Beyond grateful that you not only explain how, but why. This is how i retain information hahaha

Thank you for this video!!

Nice video and a very honest one. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

You are a lovely, lovely person and I love your videos. What a considerate co-worker you are. Thanks for helping me shake the guilt. I really want to improve my orchid growing skill. I've subscribed. Thanks!

This video was an absolute joy to watch. So comprehensive. I love to understand exactly why I’m doing something for my orchid. Definitely makes me a better orchid mumma. Thank you so much ❤

Thank you for this video! You Are SO easy to understand!!! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you!!!

I have never learn so much in my life in such a short and concise way. Thank you so much for this video.

Love you Michael. Beutifully organised and super articulate with your own cute style. I'm a new to the hobby and I just rescued 16 severely dehydrated Phals. Fun for the next 2 years. Thanks!

This video blew my mind. On my way to buy a new orchid confident i won’t kill it this time

Thank you so much for the moral boost in the beginning. You are amazing!

Thank you so much Michael! I invested in a heating mat & my Phal is blooming!! A first for me!

this video gives me the courage to keep and help my sick orchids. Thank you for all your help.

this is the second video of yours I have watched...OMG I want to hug you!!!! Thank you so much for this! I tried to do the bark to hydro swap on my own and I failed so miserably. THIS ...this is AWESOME !

Wow ! Your explanation broke down every step in such great detail, I appreciated this informative video

This has been SO USEFUL I am going to go save all my hubby's mini-phaels. Thanks!!!

wow! what wonderfully clear and well-explained instructions! You've convinced me to switch my few struggling orchids to semi hydro! And you convinced me to subscribe! 💖🌺

You'ze a boss. I'm off to the store to get started on treating a bunch of sick orchids

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thank you for taking time to be a dispensary of time and experience.

Thank you, Michael. I am so happy I found your channel. I have inadvertently killed a few Phalaenopsis. I was trying to understand what I was doing wrong. I have three Phalaenopsis in my care at the moment. I am more confident that I will be able to look after them a lot better.

I love this tutorial and how you explain why things are done which makes so much sense.

coping with live, shown by the example of caring for your orchids. a wonderful metaphor :') thanks so much for this brilliant job of explaining the delicacies of orchid gardening. explaining why and showing how to remidy something is crucial for properly doing ANYthing. it's a perfect teaching method. you're a wonderful teacher. thanks Michael.

Wow! Your tutorial is so succinct and informative. Amazing. Great job👏👏

Omg you are amazing!! For real, best instructor ever. I hope you do this for a living

thanks a lot! i was so scared when i tried FWC ... now i found some more informations, thanks to you!

I love analytical teachings. You don’t miss a thing. Learned a lot.

Very interesting, to the point, no time wasting, very knowledgeable. I like your explanations as they help me to understand the processes. Thank you

This has been so incredibly helpful! Your videos are so informative! :)

Michael, I just found you today. Orchids are so wonderful and so are you in bringing so much useful knowledge to like minds. Thanks for sharing.

Oh thank you! I'm watching all of your semi hydro videos!(to be honest all the semi hydro videos I can find on youtube.heh) I have an oncidium twinkle with horrible roots that split into 2 sections and now both sections are just starting to push out the first signs of new growth. One with 2 bulbs and the other with numerous roots. I'm currently using a little cheap pipette to manually water them every day or two. Yes. I love my plants. Lol Ive heard twinkles love semi hydro because they want to be watered so frequently. New baby root nubs seem like the perfect time to convert! I'm really growing to appreciate your channel! You have such a pleasant and comfortable presence in front of the camera. Youve made so much wonderful content!

I love what a clean freak you are! Me too! Thank you for your help. I bought the clay beads from ikea and didn’t know how to use them. Now I do!

I find this video very interesting. I never thought about hydroponically growing orchids. Every step was explained thoroughly and very well. I was trained that orchid roots like being "tight" and that it promoted them to essentially stress out and bloom... Id love to see a follow up to how they turned out.

I am continually watching a wide variety of videos for many different plants, you are the only person that explains in detail (and easily understood) the why and what to expect to happen...I am so happy thank you!...only one question on this video, the yellow leaf on this orchid? what is the reason you didn't cut it off? thanks Michael I am so glad I found you.

I just found your page and Love it! I have a couple Orchids I rescued from a grocery store clearance tray. I am hoping to save it, so here I am. Thanks so much for doing this video, Perfect timing!!

This video may be older, but I just found it today. Very informative and well done. Thank you so much for this. I’m a first time orchid owner who has found myself needing some help to keep her beautiful....

I love your channel and so happy to have found it.

Personal Therapy via the medium of orchid....Micheal, I’m in England and my orchids are doing super well and I’m super happy about it....I mean to keep them well so I’m watching your master class....you’re a therapist.....it is so evident that you are a gracious human being.... I have learnt to bless the water I give my orchids with a heartfelt blessing,and I swear they love it...they look great.....thought I would randomly share what little I know with you as you have shared your elegant self with us...x

I understand now!!! Ten years of frustrations, joys, and a few tears makes sense now! Thank you! 🌸. You’ve saved the lives of my future orchids!!!

Extremely through and well presented!! Thanks! Vicki

This is the first video I'm watching of you and I'm already in love with your type of explanation!

This gives me hope for my sad phals that I've gotten recently. I've had a few orchids before that have all met their end due to either over watering, dehydration or root rot as I didn't know much about orchids at all. The way you present the info in this video is SO helpful. I've been searching and searching online for the best medium and this seems like it will work for my climate. I'll definitely give this a try on my poor dehydrated babies ;u;

you're amazing!!! I just adore and appreciate you!!

Thank you for this great video! You were straight to the point and I learned so much!

OMG you saved the Orchid from killing itself!!! You’re my HERO :)

Excellent. A wealth of knowledge imparted to your community equipping us with the proper way to care for our orchids whilst understanding them. First time viewer and new sub.

WONDERFUL video!!! Thank you! I took all my orchids out and put them on a tree limb. I saw that they lived that way in the wild.. They look beautiful!!

I absolutely LOVE this video. I am definitely going to reference this one to all my friends who are starting out with or want to start Chid growing. I've seen many many videos and read many articles in order to get the amount of info you have provided in just one 15ish minute video! And so eloquently put too!

Great information, so happy I found this and this will help me so much with future Orchids!! Your tea bag method is currently helping to save three of my Orchids!!❤️🥰🙏🏼

This video was brilliant. After my first phalae failure last year, someone bought me a new one as a gift. I am now repotting it and realise where I went wrong with the old one. I also understand now why the bottom leaves died and feel off the old one and that this is just part of the process! Thankyou! Subscribed!

Thanks for this great tutorial. I just bought my first orchid. Greetings from The Netherlands.

Micheal I so appreciate your knowledge, and delivery. I wanted to share my experience with drilling holes in glass/ mason jars etc. I found after three very pricey drill bits, the light went on and I pulled out my Dremel OMG it is absolutely fail proof (for me ) just wanted to share this. You make it look so easy and I am very knowledgeable with power tools/ bits and all that fun stuff. I wanted to share this because I can see that it would be quite a challenge if you 1 don’t have proper drill power, 2 absolutely essential bit. Back to you and your amazing knowledgeable self. My mom passed in May 2019 she had 3 orchids and I took them home, mind you I am a personal Gardner but I have had not a lot of luck with these exotic beauties so I am very grateful I found you. You rock! Now let’s see if I can make this work. With Respect, Michelle

Wow, the part about changing the medium was really helpful for me to understand why the roots suffocate, thank you!

💡 !!!!!!! After months and months of obsessively watching KZread videos, potting, repotting and repotting my orchids in a desperate attempt to not kill them, your videos have finally brought me to a new level of understanding. Major light bulbs here. Thank you so much for this video! 🎉🌸
